Shop around, and don't forget the want ads. I haul my sea kayak on a Sears utility trailer dating from around 1972. The tongue was way too short to haul the boat, but a visit to a local welding shop cured that. The boat rides on bunks that I built from 2x4s and carpeting. The real benefit to a trailer is that you leave the boat loaded all the time, thus cutting out a full load/unload cycle when going out for a quick trip. Plus, the kayak is a lot lower on the trailer, so you don't have to be working overhead. The downside is finding a place to park at a convienience store or restaurant for the after-paddling cold one. -- Wes *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Nov 30 1999 - 12:51:59 PST
